“Looking Back, Leaving Milton Keynes Lightning Was a Step Up” – Ex-Lightning Star Throws Major Shade at His Former Club with Bold Remarks
In a recent interview, former Milton Keynes Lightning ice hockey star Liam Reynolds didn’t hold back when discussing his departure from the club. Reynolds, who played several seasons with the Lightning, described leaving as a defining moment in his career, calling it “the best decision I ever made.”
“Looking back, leaving Milton Keynes was a step up,” Reynolds stated bluntly. “I’ll always have love for the fans and the city, but the management and the direction of the team were holding me back.”
Reynolds, now excelling with his new team, took aim at former Lightning head coach Lewis Clifford and the rest of the coaching staff. “The game plans were outdated, and there was a lack of ambition,” Reynolds noted. “It felt like I was stagnating, and I knew I had to leave to reach my full potential.”
Despite Milton Keynes Lightning’s passionate fanbase and history, Reynolds’ comments shed light on the internal challenges he faced during his time with the team. Since leaving, he has flourished both individually and as a key part of a squad competing for top honors.
When asked if he would ever consider a return to the Lightning, Reynolds quickly dismissed the idea. “I’m in a much better place now,” he said. “Leaving was the right choice, and I haven’t looked back since.”
While Milton Keynes Lightning has yet to respond to Reynolds’ remarks, fans and former teammates are sure to react strongly. For now, it’s clear that Reynolds’ decision to leave has been a major turning point in his career, one that he doesn’t regret.
